The etiology of testicular cancer is unknown, but both environmental and genetic factors have to be considered. The recognition of the tumour in more than one member of a family, a rare occurrence, adds further material to the research of the etiology and might, therefore, be of general interest. To the few cases of testicular cancer occurring both in father and son reported in the literature, the present presentation adds another instance of embryonal metastasizing cancer.
睾丸癌的病因尚不清楚,但环境和遗传因素都必须予以考虑。在一个家族的多名成员中发现肿瘤,这种情况很罕见,为病因研究增添了更多素材,因此可能会引起广泛关注。本文报告了父子均患睾丸癌的又一病例,为胚胎转移性癌的文献增添了新的实例。
